We would love to have you join the Focus on Kids Laboratory Guild!
The Focus on Kids Laboratory Guild is part of Seattle Children’s Guild Association as one of more than 400 guilds and 5,000 guild members.
We are proud that our guild benefits Seattle Children's Department of Laboratories and its membership is made up primarily of laboratory staff. This department is a highly respected and internationally acclaimed clinical service. All of us in the Laboratory contribute our expertise and professional experiences to continue to offer life-saving services to our young patients and their families.

Corporate Matching Programs
To promote philanthropy, honor the diversity of employees’ interests and provide a broad spectrum of community support, many companies offer a matching gift program to their employees for direct gifts or volunteer hours.
Employer matching gifts support and match an employee’s direct donation — a 100% tax-deductible gift — to Seattle Children’s. Generally, companies do not match the dollar amount of event tickets, raffle tickets and auction purchases. Some companies may match the donation portion of event tickets and auction overages (the difference between an item’s fair market value and what the donor paid).
To learn more about matching gift opportunities, please refer to your company’s matching gift program and policies. Please indicate that you are matching a gift made to Focus on Kids Laboratory Guild, a Guild of Seattle Children’s.
